RE: Question for orchestra vets

Ralph,
I'm not quite sure the conductor of the community orchestra knows what he's talking about. I use the Bb and the A and play in sharp AND flat keys. The only time I transpose is from Bb to C. There are rare occasions when we transpose for different singers or from Eb to D clarinet, but you'll probably never have to deal with that.
The A clarinet also has a different timbre than the Bb, so a lot of the parts for A clarinet are not necessarily based on key signatures.
